Currently I am using ijjppp in term mode to write the strings and that works fine. Unfortunately, I would like to send the AT string to the modem non-interactively from a script. I can use 'expect' to get the job done with ijjppp, but that seems to be a bit of a kludge. In the past, I have tried writing directly to the raw device, eg. echo "ATZ" > /dev/cuaa0 but that seems to put the modem in a funny state. Also, since I can't see the return message (OK) with this method, I never knew if it really worked. Is there a standard FreeBSD utility to do what I'm looking to do? If not, does anyone have any _simple_ C code I can hack to do this? Many Regards, JM > ------------- > Jeffrey M.
